Any chance the UGA-ARK kickoff gets moved?

Does it get flexed to a night time ABC/ESPN/SECN kick off? Is that possible?

Cbs has us booked for both auburn and Florida, so theyre just trying not to become the UGA channel.

And espn will be all in on Saban vs Kiffen next week, so we are getting used as a challenge to the new Big Noon game on fox which is sweeping the nation

I embrace this time slot

I think CBS chose the Bama Ole miss game, but ESPN 7:00 had the next choice and chose Kentucky vs Florida over our game.

My take is, a few noon games a year are good and allow recovery and preparation for the next game. Prefer 3:30 but you play the game when you are told.

Love 330 games in late October November. But rather have a 7:00 kickoff under the lights for these big games.

I think they have a 6 day option to assign or reassign a slot but I doubt they’d exercise it.

Once a year, they can chose to hold on game choice for the following Sunday…they did not use it when picking week, as CBS knew Bama/Ole Miss would be a top 10 matchup. ESPN gambled on Arkansas losing when picking the FL/UK game at night. I think the others stations have kinda forced the hand for them to have at least a decent noon game too. Sucks, but is what it is. We proved today that we can wake up early and play some ball

I'm fine with smacking Arkansas early in the day.

With gameday coming to Athens, its obvious now that the noon kick is directly linked to Fox’s success with their Big Noon game/pregame show

They didnt make a mistake. This is exactly what espn wants

Fox has been having some good ratings for their noon games and ESPN is trying to take a bite out of that.
